[Reader-list] views on the practice of homosexuality in the Muslim society

[Franciska Lambrechts]

Sodoma and Gomorra comes from the Thora which ànd christianity ànd 
islam are based on. The pope in Rome has only recently sent a message 
to the world condemning homosexuality, in the centre of Europe there is 
hardly anyone who cares much about his opinions and I suppose this 
rather added to the feeling he's an anachronism though in other parts 
of the world his ideas might have a bigger impact. Oscar Wilde on the 
other hand was on trial in 1895 in London by a secular court on charges 
of homosexuality and spent two years in prison. I don't think it's a 
good idea to stare yourselves blind on religion, religion can 
institutionalize ways of thinking of course. I guess that in general 
every sort of sexuality that doesn't even pretend to be reproductional 
has been looked at with suspicion, the survival of the sort. It's maybe 
more interesting to find out in which circumstances the suspicion turns 
aggressive. And be careful not to get pedophilia and homosexuality 
mixed up.
